Abstract

The article aims to analyze factors that explain the emergence and spread of the movement of São Paulo students who, in 2015, occupied 219 schools against the project of “reorganization” of the state school system. Data, generated through literature review and semi-structured interviews, were analyzed based on the concepts of protest cycles, contestation repertoires and “citizenship”. Among the results, the approximation between different networks of activists and students stands out. These networks, influenced by the repertoires of the 2010 global protest cycle, developed the movement's main tactics – acts, occupations and locks – and catalyzed latent experiences, expectations and demands among adolescents.
